Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies

To date, one of our favourite meals umm, desserts of all time is cookies. You may have picked this up during our previous 'best ever choc chip cookie' post. If you missed it, you can locate that recipe here and mind you, those cookies are pretty darn good. That said, these cookies came about it an odd way and are more of a chewy textured type of cookie.

It was Saturday, the tv was on, we were chatting, watching a re-runs of masterchef (anyone else who prefers streaming things later as opposed to watching them when they’re actually on tv?) and mixing up cookie dough, multitasking as it were. It was all going perfectly, until we realised our cookie dough had ended up 70% add ins, 30% cookie dough. The perfect ratio, but not what we had planned.

Anyway, we baked our cookies and they worked a treat. When typing out this recipe, we thought to ourselves, that this creation was basically everything but the kitchen sink, and for some reason decided to google the phrase with cookies added at the end.. Did you know that kitchen sink cookies are actually a thing? Google 'everything but the kitchen sink cookies'. We were pleasantly surprised.

Anyway, these cookies are vegan, gluten free and are very much open to interpretation, don't have some of the ingredients? No worries, we got you! So let's get to it!
